Nonfiction Survey

So here's the story with this one: on a listserv I follow(ed), someone mentioned that they are reading one book from every "Dewey decade" (although I don't feel that's the right term)-- ie, one from between 000 and 010, 010-020, 020-030, etc., on through.  I thought that sounded interesting, but not for me.  I still thought of nonfiction as being very boring, essentially, with a few worthy and interesting chunks in the 610s and 320s.  But when I started looking, I saw lots of books that did look interesting.

I am not in any way attempting to go in order, and obviously I have preferred sections.  I started this project in May, 2011.
